Problems with turning off screen - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am experiencing strange problems on my Samsung galaxy S II LSD firmware and laso LS8 and others. It is not turning screen off very often. After some time, screen is just darker but does not turn off completelly as it should. I think it might be doing some app but I am not sure. Is there any way to diagnose which app or part is doing this strange behaviour? I tried betterbatterystats but nothing useful it seems.
Also when I disconnect phone from charging it is still showing and behaving like that device is connected to wall charger even when it is not ... Thank you for any advice.

Get Wakelock Detector from playstore or post partial wakelocks.

Do you have "stay awake while charging" in developer options checked, if so this could be why your screen won't turn off while your phone thinks it's still charging.

Screen turning on when charged.

Sorry if this has already been answered having a nightmare with search on Tapatalk.
Is there any way to stop the screen from turning on when phone charged? I often leave phone charging overnight and worry the screen might burn out because of this.
Thanks

Anyone? Or is this just something one should not worry about?
It times out after a couple of minutes or so. I charge my phone most nights but when I wake the screen is always off.
I have the same problem! Bugs the hell out of me when I wake up my phone screen is turned on and on my lockscreeb

Don't have this problem either, my phone's locked again after the notification for full charge...
What kind of rom do you have? (it's written "galaxy S in your sign)
Are you using an app for lockscreen?
Just the standard Sammy one. And it never turns off automatically.
So maybe you could install a lockscreen app from the market and see if it solve your problem.

Deep sleep/vbus_present

So I've had this device for about three months, flashed all kinds of ROMs with no problems. Recently my phone will not enter deep sleep. After checking BBS, vbus_present is keeping my phone awake. This happens on any rom , regardless of apps installed or not. One oddity is having to restart the phone after unplugging it just so it will no longer show that's its charging. And yes I have searched, and read, and wiped, etc, so if any one knows any helpful hints I'd really appreciate it.
Currently on Carbon ROM, stock kernel' no deep sleep. Battery in settings shows 0 min on battery and its been unplugged for an hour

Vbus present means you have something in your microusb like you're charger. If youre not charging 24/7 then its probably your usb port is a little dirty. I had the same exact problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131644) and got it fixed
Did u take it apart? I've tried blowing it out, using a toothbrush, still always awake.
Easy fix you could do it yourself...

are u using usb otg or similar things? It can cause these wakelock if not ejected or exited properly.
Nope, I have never used it.. I guess it all started when using AutomateIT app.. I had a rule to turn on auto sync when power connects
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
Did you have it plugged in to the charger whilst it was on? Or anything plugged into the usb port anyway.
What you need to do is: fully charge the phone. Unplug, wait an hour or so, screenshot the categories ad Gaston said, and then we'll see. Right now those screenshots don't mean a whole lot.
Before you do that though, please update the version of betterbatterystats that you're using. That version is crazy old. The newest version (from xda thread) has a lot of bugs ironed out.

This may sound stupid, but is there a way to turn off th screen while the watch is charging?
Tyanks in advance.

Well, you can either shutdown the watch (if that's an option) or uncheck "display always on" in the settings
Even with uncheck display, it still stays lit while on charger. I hope they add the option to turn it completely off in a future update.
i tried also to turn off when charging, but no luck. it turns on immediately. i tried to put it turned off in cradle ..--> starts.. turned ON and turned off during charging in cradle, same issue. it starts. there is no way to charge it turned off.
There is an option in the developers menu to turn this off and on, on the watch tap on software version 7 times and it will give you Dev settings

yes, but when the option is OFF , the screen is not 100% off.
and i also tried to switch the watch OFF during charging and no result
The only way i have managed to turn screen off whilst charging is to go into gear manager and toggle the screen always on option. This needs to be done after it has been put on charge and you will need to do this each time you charge the watch.

This is what I've been doing too. It's a pain because even when the screen is dimmed its pretty bright in a dark room.

obviouslly you cant shut the watch off while charging since putting it in the cradle is the way to turn it on. i charged the watch in the cradle all nite and this morning it only registered 67% battery level. how is that possible? am i doing something wrong?

You can shut it off...but then how do you charge it? I've not had any charging issues, it gets fully charged within a couple of hours.

You can use Slumber for Android Wear available on the Play Store.

Slumber is only a partial solution since it doesn't really turn off the screen completely.
Instead it just shows nothing on the screen (but its still on)
Wait? It keeps the screen on during charge? Mine was off while on the cradle, I guess it didn't charge. Which explains why the battery is almost dead.
I've been on battery for 29 hours and have 15% left, not too shabby.
Has anyone found a better solution for this yet? I find this the most frustrating part of this watch.

I agree, this is an option that should be in Android Wear and not depend on other apps.
I use Slumber and I like it very much. At least the screen is muted, although it does still glow while charging.
I'm working on a watchface of my own and I hope to include a feature to put the watch into Theater mode when charging, but at this point I'm not even sure if that is possible programatically.
Just turn on Teather Mode. Perhaps its possible to automate it using tasker?
